Ware OK with Cowboys’ shift from 3-4 to 4-3

Cowboys pass-rushing ace DeMarcus Ware is OK with making the move from outside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme to end in the 4-3 look the team will run next season under new coordinator Monte Kiffin.

“I think it can benefit me,” the Dallas Morning News reported Ware said Thursday at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. “I can play a lot more aggressive. I don’t have to worry about dropping into coverage. Then guys like (linebackers) Sean Lee and Bruce Carter and (nose tackle) Jay (Ratliff) can really get after it.”

Ware played defensive end in college at Troy.

“There’s not a big change,” he said.

Kiffin replaces the fired Rob Ryan.

“Rob is a great coach,” Ware said. “But it’s a business decision they made.”

Ware pointed out that Kiffin will be the sixth coordinator he’s played for since joining the Cowboys as a first-round pick in 2005 under then-coach Bill Parcells.

“Sometimes change is good,” Ware said. “The is the first one where we’ve had a total revamp, a total change.”

Ware said he hopes to be cleared by the start of training camp in July after undergoing surgery earlier this month to repair a torn posterior labrum. He said he also is set to have surgery on his right elbow soon.
